Storing uncompressed .mi file into WorkManager

[Gary L.]

What do I need to add to the following command to not have my .mi file in WorkManager compressed?

save_2d_data :start

If you are using WM 11.60, then you can set a global variable to 0, thus telling Annotation (or actually the ME10 macro code behind it) to store the MI file in uncompressed format into WM.

DEFINE Awm_val_store_compressed_mi
0
END_DEFINE

Place this definition in your WM ME10 AIP customization,
e.g. in a file named "ui_cust.m" in the directory ...\WorkManager\desktop\aips\me10\custom
(or similar, depends on the way your ME10 AIP gets customized)

Good luck.

We are using WorkManager 5.1 and OneSpace Designer 11.5.

Will your suggestion work with our setup?

Whoa, kind-a-unsupported, isn't it? ;) :D

I don't have the old macros at hand at the moment, but what you might wanna do is:

* Save all the OSD Anno macros into a single file,
* then look for all locations with a STORE command,
* check whether it is inside a macro named Awm_i_store_xxx (somewhat similar), e.g. Awm_i_store_quick, Awm_i_store_metop
* extract the macro into your ui_cust.m file, and adopt it to your needs.
* Make sure to modify the line where the pure drawings gets stored, not the frame part

How to save all Anno macros into a single file:

(docu-cmd "save_macro all del_old 'c:/temp/all_me10.mac'")

Good luck :)
